Self Management

Swing Fun @ Lunch

Computer Work

During computer time, Jack noticed other boys on the couch doing their work so he took himself along with his Ipad to the couch to join them.  No prompts.  He sat there for quite some time and was very settled.  Ka Pai Jack.

BEACH TRIP

The junior school went to Foxton Beach to learn about beach and water safety. Jack splashed in the waves with Mrs Stace. He liked to jump when the big waves came along.  He sat and ate his lunch at the beach table and he fed the seagulls some of his sandwich.  Jack also played in the Lifeguards boat for some time. When it was time to go Jack washed himself under the outside shower and then got dressed ready for home. Jack also visited the Foxton Beach Park where he relaxed on the swings.
Jack thoroughly enjoyed his outing with school.

Mat Time in Room 3

In Room 3 Miss Jeynes chooses children to sit on the couch at mat time.  Jack is having his turn and he absolutely loves it.  He sat through the entire mat time and had lots of smiles.

Jack's Gardening Job

Everybody in room 3 has a classroom job to do before the end of the day.  Jacks job is to water the classroom garden.  He has a social story to read that helps him.

 Jack is finding his independance with this job and loves to pour the water out of the container.

Jacks start to 2014

It has been a very hot start to the year and Jack has enjoyed some fun in the school pool.

Jack has settled well into room 3.

He has done some great handwriting and he is enjoying his social stories to help him get back into the school routine.

 

 

Room 2 Farm Trip

On Thursday the 21st November room 2 went on a farm trip.  Jack was very excited when he arrived at the farm.  He liked watching the calves drink their milk.  He had a fun ride on the rotary cow belt in the milking shed and he was also very lucky to have a ride in the farm ute down to the forest where he collected pine cones and joined in on class activities.  Jack sat with his class for lunch and enjoyed a nice cold iceblock.  We had a very fun day.

Art with Mrs Goodwin

Mrs Goodwin was the relieving teacher for the day and we got to do some cool hand and feet art work.  Jack thought this was a great idea!

He loved the feeling of paint on his hands and feet.  He was even very capable of washing his feet afterwards, however we did hose our head as well.  Lucky it was a hot sunny day Jack. :)

Cross Country

Jack had a blast at the school cross country.  He lined up with his year group ready to race.  He went all the way around the course and loved feeling the mud between his toes.  When he got to the creek crossing he leaped in with a great big smile.  Jack stayed in the water for quiet a while.  He then made his way up the big hill to the finish line.  Good effort Jack!

Jacks Outing

Jack had a fanstastic trip to Mount Lees Reserve.  He loved playing on the slide and swing and then he enjoyed a walk along the bush track and through the daffodils.  On the way Jack spotted some doves and was most intrigued with them.  He kicked a ball around on the big lawn and lots of laughter was had.  He liked sitting in the picnic area for a rest.

Jack was extremely well behaved and loved all the different sights, sounds and textures.

Daffodil Day

Jack took part in the Daffodil Day Parade with his classroom.  There was lots of laughing and dancing.

Biscuit Art

Last week on friday we got to ice/decorate some biscuits.  Jack loved the icing and he did a great job of icing his biscuits before eating them.

ART DAY

On Monday we had a junior art day.  We went to different classrooms and participated in creating different types of art.  Jack enjoyed visiting the other classrooms and made three different pieces.  He was very hands on and made some really neat art pieces.

Room 2s Garden

Jack enjoyed getting out in the sunshine and helping Room 2 plant new vegetables in their garden. 

He watched the other children digging and then had a go himself.

Thanks for helping Jack. :)

Gymnastics

Jack enjoys going over to the hall and having a go at gymnastics.  He likes to jump on the trampoline and land on the mat.  He is very good at balancing on the beam.

Way to go Jack, great to see you having fun.

Flying Fox Fun

Jack has been watching the other children on the flying fox.  He has attempted it over the past couple of weeks but hasnt quite mastered it.  With help from his teacher aides, he has learnt to hang on without letting go.  Lately the other children have been giving Jack a push so he makes it to the other side.  This is a great achievement for Jack. 

Hockey

Jack had a fun afternoon learning to play hockey.  The Feilding High School came out and showed us how to play.  Jack gave it his best.

Rescue Helicopter

 

We were very lucky to have the Rescue Helicopter visit our school.

Jack was very excited.

Jack had a good look around the helicopter.

When the helicopter took off Jack waved bye bye.



Soccer Fun

Jack is staying outside the entire lunch time. He is enjoying interacting on the playground and will line up and take his turn on the flying fox.  One lunch time Jack decided to go and join the children playing soccer on the field. He ran around with them and there was lots of laughter.

Jacks 7th Birthday

Jack enjoyed sitting on the mat with his class as they sung him happy birthday.

Jack is interacting with his classroom peers a lot more lately.

Jacks Name

Jack had been practising to write his name all by himself. 

PJ and Pie Day

Jack had the most awesome time at the PJ parade.  He was laughing and clapping along to the music and joining in on the parade around the court with his class.

Jack also tried a pie for lunch.

You looked all snuggly today Jack in your PJs.

Reading/Phonics

Jack really enjoys sitting on the couch with his peers during reading time.

Sometimes his peers read to him.  He likes this a lot.

 

Jack also participates on the mat during phonics..here he is writing his name.

It is so great to see Jack settled in room 2.

Maths

Jack is learning to extend his shape knowledge.  Here he is doing his 1:1 matching of shapes using flash card and then adding the shape name to this activity.  We then go on to "saying" our shapes.  Jack does this by using his core board and pointing to the correct shape that was asked of him.  Jack also practises his shapes by drawing them.  He is doing a great job at this.  Lastly we use his Ipad, Little Writer App, and draw shapes.  We take turns with this activity.
